London watchdog welcomes fares freeze

London TravelWatch has welcomed the Mayor of London’s decision to freeze fares on the Transport for London network in real terms in January 2015.

Janet Cooke, chief executive of London TravelWatch, said: “It is also good news that TfL will be lowering the daily Oyster PAYG fare cap to help those who work part time, removing the need for anyone working five days or fewer to buy a weekly Travelcard to get the cheapest fare.’
